Greenshank and the Lesser Yellowlegs still around

Another fearless wader at the Lurgies, this time it was a Greenshank which may be the same one favouring a channel near the path for some time now and is getting a bit gallus. Another failed attempt at a good Lesser Yellowlegs photo and a ringed Norwegian gull.

It was catching very small prey, possibly shrimps or small fish and as the photo shows they were in the deeper water

Lesser Yellowlegs still in a far away channel. It was getting closer as the tide came in but was flushed as a Buzzard flew over and re-appeared even further away

Black-headed Gull J4U3. I first photographed this bird in 2014 and it's returned every year since to the Old Harbour and still limps as it did then. Ringed, Mollendammen, Time, Rogaland, Norway on 29/3/2012.
